Additionally, we have the ability to partner with USDA Rural Development for their loan and grant program with zero-interest loans for projects that promote economic development and job creation in our rural communities.
Electric Energy
Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative prides itself on reliable service. During the past year, our members were on line 99.99% of the time. When power outages do occur, local linemen and state of the art technology allow us to restore service quickly. As a member-owned cooperative our rates are priced fairly and equitably with a focus on service rather than profit. Margins are returned to member-owners through patronage dividends.
